A panorama of music in the age of Romanticism, presented in a particularly inspired way by the deft pen of an emblematic figure of the time.

Hector Berlioz, along with Hugo and Delacroix, form the trio of Romantic art, according to Theophile Gautier.

The Orchestral Evenings is his most important collection of texts, presented in the form of narratives taking place in the orchestra of an opera that struggles with playing meaningless works almost every night.

Through these witty and sharp texts, an uncompromising journey towards a new artistic ideal emerges, which opened the horizons of free expression in music.
